Hi Automaton2

I really like all four images and how the HDR brings out a lot of micro-contrast.
Would it be possible some details on the shots, in particular what kind of post-processing you went through for others to learn.

Thanks!

The middle two speak to me the most. Fascinating place - I love abandoned buildings...

These are quite well done and I dig the silvery tones. A couple of shots could use burning in, in the brightest areas, but this is a nice set.

these shots are all very compelling. Nice work. I do have a question about the first one though... The sky appears a bit noisy to me, was this done purposely? It is a little distracting... also, there is something odd with the bottom right of the frame, it looks like it was erased or something? Not sure... anyone else see this or is it just me?

thank you all so much for positive feedback

some were edited in color too much and it messed up the b/w luminosity

I run 3 bracketed shots thru photomatix playing with the sliders till im happy
the tif generated I edit in photoshop
first in color then I use a filter to convert to mono
sometimes I just use a single raw and let hdr program alter it
